There are hardly any sailboats out this year. Rob is reading a lot of theology. All the Galts send love to all the Skinkers. Wilhelmine has had a very attractive girl visiting her, Doris Rinehart of Bloomington, Illinois. Will Brown and his wife are staying in a bungalow beyond Emmet Beach. Margery Brown, Will’s little six year old, is a dear., 1911 Aug 20

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists primarily of Skinker family correspondence, the bulk of which is between Thomas K. Skinker and his wife, Bertha Rives Skinker. The collection also contains several folders of tax receipts of Thomas Skinker dated 1839-1886. This finding aid was compiled by keying in the document descriptions on the folder covers. These document descriptions were presumably written by a Missouri Historical Society archivist soon after the collection was purchased in 1978.
